The story of RFC of San Francisco begins with the life of Raymond F. Clark, a beloved man in the San Francisco community whom his friends and family like to call “Big Ray.”

Big Ray was born in Washington DC to a naval family. His father, Raymond, moved his young family out to San Francisco in the early 1940s. San Francisco is where Big Ray would grow, marry, and raise his own children.

During his life, Big Ray served in the Marine Corps, taught math in San Francisco schools, protected the local community as a police officer, and pursued his passion for trades work as a general contractor. As a general contractor, Ray touched the lives of many individuals with his commitment to service and value.

Sadly, Big Ray’s life was cut short in an automobile accident in March, 2008. His two sons, Matt and Steve, vowed to remember their father by forming RFC of San Francisco. We invite you to view a tribute to Big Ray by clicking on this link.
